[Journey to the West] Who Is This Frail Husband I Picked Up? Nezha!

After spending three hundred years in the world of Journey to the West, Yun Jiao saw no hope of ascending to immortality. In a fit of anger, she turned to the ways of demons and became a great demon king in her own right, enjoying a comfortable life.

One day, her demon underlings presented her with a blind mortal boy.

The boy looked like an immortal banished from heaven, with delicate, handsome features. He was even more enticing than Red Boy, who served under her.

She took a liking to him on the spot. So what if he was blind? He could still give her shoulder rubs and back massages!

Ferocious Demon King Yun Jiao: “You may be useless, but you’re good-looking. Just focus on romancing me. You don’t need to worry about anything else. Understand?”

The handsome youth’s gaze was deep and unfathomable. “Yes, I’ll do as you say, my lady.”

Her husband was frail and helpless, but he really was obedient and did whatever she said.

Yun Jiao was very pleased, except that the little demons under her command had started acting up, repeatedly picking fights with the Heavenly Court.

She sensed something was wrong and left her mountain to investigate

Only to find her usually frail, blind husband looking like he was slaughtering his way through the heavens. His red robes were stained with blood, his murderous aura blazing as he fought Red Boy.

Yun Jiao: ???

Who could have guessed that the frail husband she’d picked up for free was Nezha, the Heavenly Court’s god of slaughter!

Yun Jiao returned to her cave in a daze, only to find that Nezha had already come back. He had changed into the white robes she liked. “Are you tired from going out, my lady? Stretch out your legs and let me massage them.”

Afterward, Yun Jiao’s cheeks were flushed and her head was spinning. “Don’t think I can’t beat you. I’m only holding back because we’re married…”

Nezha smiled, thoroughly satisfied. “Yes, I’ll do as you say, my lady.”

A mysterious great demon king has appeared in the mortal realm. Though unknown by name, she has made countless demons bow to her.

As the journey west is about to begin, Nezha is ordered by the Buddha to descend to the mortal realm and investigate. He disguises himself as a frail mortal, and is promptly abducted into a demon’s lair to become its husband.

Rumor has it she’s powerful and vicious, with a hideous face that can stop children from crying at night.

But when Nezha enters her cave, he is met by a waft of fragrant air.

A beautiful young woman speaks softly: “You’re good-looking… Romance me… %&#%… Understand?”

They fight at home and love at home, a sweet married couple’s daily life on the Journey to the West

Advance preview: “What Should I Do If the Nezha I Raised Turns Evil?”

After transmigrating into a fantasy world, Xu Qingwei meets an old man with an immortal air about him, who claims to be her master. He gives her a spirit pearl and orders her to enter the mortal world and look after it, promising a generous reward when she returns.

Xu Qingwei asks what the old man will give her. He says he’ll send her home.

Xu Qingwei:! So you know I transmigrated here.

After agreeing to the deal, Xu Qingwei places the spirit pearl in the arms of a woman and waits three years and six months… until the pearl becomes a pretty toddler in a red bellyband, with everyone chasing after him and shouting “Nezha.”

Only then does she realize that she is Taiyi Zhenren, the legendary master of Nezha.

Xu Qingwei: Well, that’s just great. Keep smiling.jpg

As the old man instructed, she has to raise Lingzhuzi to be “true, good, and beautiful” for the deal to be complete.

Xu Qingwei raises the child through tears and teaches him with care. Her hard work finally pays off, and the beautiful youth grows from a mischievous brat into a fine young man.

After wiping away one last tear of hardship, Xu Qingwei sets off to find the old man and claim his promise. But the beautiful young man suddenly pulls out the Red Armillary Sash and ties her up in Golden Light Cave.

Xu Qingwei: ??? Hey!

Golden Light Cave is where she lives, and she gave him the Red Armillary Sash. What does this rebellious apprentice think he’s doing?

In the shadowy cave, the youth’s red robes blaze brightly, and his phoenix eyes shine like flames that could burn everything to ashes.

“Master, you want to?” He kisses away her tears without hesitation and wraps an arm around her waist, burying his face against her neck. “You want everything, Master. Golden Light Cave is yours, and the Red Armillary Sash is yours too. But why can’t your apprentice be yours as well…”

“If you’re going home, you don’t want your apprentice anymore, hmm?”

Nezha was born proud and untamable, cursed to kill, and destined to be alone.

But how fortunate he was to have a master who taught him skills and the Way, gave him cultivation, and bestowed magical treasures on him.

Only, this wonderful master had done all of it for the sake of going home, and would leave him alone once more.

Nezha naturally wouldn’t allow it. He would make her understand what it really meant to be impossible to control.
